If passing a law that bans guns is all that's needed to end gun violence. Why not just pass a law against shooting people with guns? Better yet just outlaw ALL murder, no matter the tool used. Now how easy what that! While we're passing laws. Might as well outlaw rape, torture, kidnapping, theft, bribery, prostitution, child molestation, arson, vote fraud, conspiracy, perjury, animal cruelty, extortion, fraud, genocide, assault, urinating in public.... Hell, by the time we pass a few laws. We'll all be living in GD fucking utopia.
you're certainly not but then you've got NOTHING of substance to argue with Well that's mighty big of you to let me have my views. What with me being a lowly conservative and all. Of course, my views on firearms ARE based on history facts and reality. Unlike yours.
Whether it's big of me or not is beside the point. Eventually you will lose. I'm satisfied with that.
Government Jackboots Impinge on Citizen's Right to Bear Arms KOB.com ALGODONES, N.M. -- A Sandoval County deputy shot at an armed man during an incident in Algodones, New Mexico State Police confirmed Friday. Law enforcement sources confirm the man shot by the deputy was 17-years-old but State Police have not yet confirmed that detail. Sandoval County Sheriff Douglas Wood says someone called 911 at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday night reporting that the teen was walking down the street yelling at people and firing shots from a high powered rifle. Deputies responded to Los Colonias on Highway 313, which is about six miles north of Bernalillo. State police said the deputies encountered him and engaged in a dialogue. During the course of the interaction, state police confirmed a deputy fired shots at the teen. The teen, whose identity has not been released, was taken to the University of New Mexico Hospital in critical condition from gunshot injuries, police said. No deputies were injured in the incident. A witness at the scene said he called 911 after hearing the gunshots. He told KOB Eyewitness News 4 he went out into his yard and saw a person across the street with his arms out. "Two shots rang out and that's pretty much everything I saw," Richard Spence said. A family friend, who didn't want to be identified, told KOB Eyewitness News 4 the teen was upset after losing his job. She said the family had just returned from a camping trip when the shooting happened. She said the rifle belonged to the teen because he uses it to hunt.
They didn't. They only made legal gun owners turn in their weapons. They did nothing for illegal ones, which is why the rates of home invasion spiked. Didn't you read up on what happened in Australia? Of course you didn't. Given that we have so many more illegal guns in circulation (orders of magnitude more), how would YOU do it? You still can't answer, can you?
firearm homicide rate fell by 59 percent, and the firearm suicide rate fell by 65 percent, in the decade after the law was introduced, without a parallel increase in non-firearm homicides and suicides. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2012/08/02/did-gun-control-work-in-australia/
